  1. Hi! The subbed video that was available on YouTube is gone and I can't find any backup. Can I use this text translation to add subs to the video?
  2. 2025.03.19 Spanish to English translation (no machine translation) Source: https://www.olympics.com/es/podcast/entrevista-javier-fernandez-personalidad-unica I used the one posted on Spotify for the transcription of the part of the conversation about Yuzu. Notes on the transcript: Q: Interviewer (Argentinian, so his verb conjugations are distinctive). Q2: Second interviewer (Spanish). J: Javier Fernández, Spanish figure skater. Translation Notes added. The Spanish transcript is after the English translation. Olympic Games Podcast -Interview with Javier Fernandez, unique personality inside and outside the ice (Conversation about Yuzuru 06:53 - 15:15) Q: Javi, continuing with this idea of expressing on the ice, you said it was one of your strengths, also Donovan’s. And if there’s a skater with “aura,” this word that’s trending on social media now, we have to mention Yuzuru Hanyu. He was a skater who combined both things, the technical side and this aura of expression. How would you describe Yuzuru in that sense?

That day, he had multiple media shoots, with ours being the last. Despite how tired he must have been, he arrived at the studio with a deep bow, saying, “Thank you for waiting! I look forward to working with you!” His thoughtfulness was enough to capture everyone’s hearts. The shoot lasted for quite some time, as it covered 20 pages. What truly impressed the editorial team was his incredible focus and how remarkably fast he adapted to the photographer’s requests. He would absorb each request in an instant and transform it into an expression that far exceeded our expectations. In the photos, he holds his own pair of skates—a moment that beautifully reflects his deep love for figure skating. When the shoot was over, he once again gave a deep bow and said, “Thank you very much! Great work, everyone!” before swiftly exiting the studio. Without thinking, the entire team burst into applause. Challenging a New Self Yuzuru Hanyu Special 30th Birthday Edition (p. 087) On December 7, 2024, Yuzuru Hanyu turned 30. Even now, he continues to train more rigorously than when he won Olympic gold. What lies at the core of a man who constantly strives to evolve? We explore his philosophy, beliefs, and unwavering drive.
  5. Hi everyone! In case some of you want to watch Notte Stellata through Hulu Japan, I compiled some instructions on this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QQ57qTcyA-wU6b6n3HprNVv3MJr1Y7-7ccrqdmADfNo/edit?usp=drivesdk (I usually keep editing these docs based on what different users experience) You may also be interested in that Hulu Japan allows streaming the same content on two different devices at the same time (i.e. simultaneous streaming). This means that you can share your account with a fanyu friend. This can be a great solution to share the bill while still legally supporting Notte Stellata.

  11. [2024/11/25] *Machine translation from Japanese to English, inaccuracies exist* Notes added at the end for clarity regarding some expressions. Pages: 72-73 Magazine available in printing and digitally: https://amzn.asia/d/5QtQ3rq From the Editorial Department (p. 12) I covered the article on the “Entertainer,” focusing on the figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, who achieved back-to-back Olympic gold medals. In addition to interviewing him, I explored his solo ice shows and their impact since his professional transition in 2022, as well as his ongoing disaster relief efforts since his competitive days.During the interviews, several people mentioned, “Hanyu’s events have become success stories for us too.” This was true for Saga, where a city-wide hospitality project was launched in conjunction with one of his shows, and for the local TV station that planned and operated the charity exhibition in support of the Noto Peninsula’s recovery. Experiences of working with Hanyu through these projects have translated into confidence and subsequent action. Even now, it’s not just fans who continue to draw courage from him. (Mai Yamamoto)

Pages: 72-73 Magazine available in printing and digitally: https://amzn.asia/d/5QtQ3rq Commitment to Supporting Disaster-Affected Areas (p. 72-73) The behind-the-scenes story of charity events and on-site visits, as told by those involved. When it comes to events featuring Yuzuru Hanyu, they attract large crowds regardless of the location, urban or rural. However, the Noto Peninsula Reconstruction Support Charity Exhibition Challenge, held on September 15 this year, was a nearly audience-free event with streaming-only access. The participating skaters included Yuzuru Hanyu, Takahito Mura, Akiko Suzuki, and Satoko Miyahara. Despite the ticket price being a not-so-inexpensive 4,500 yen, over 10,000 tickets were sold, with the proceeds donated to Ishikawa Prefecture. Reports on social media highlighted international fans purchasing tickets as well. While the streaming service Lemino was only available within Japan, many expressed their desire to support disaster-affected areas in alignment with Hanyu's cause.

During his competitive skating career, Yuzuru Hanyu attracted fans from across the globe to his competitions. Many traveled great distances—even to Canada or Northern Europe—for the chance to support him during his brief 7–8 minutes of combined short program and free skate performances. Since turning professional, Hanyu has been actively performing in solo and headlining ice shows throughout Japan, while based in Sendai. Fans eager to experience his performances in person travel long distances to the host cities of his shows. For regional municipalities looking to attract visitors and create economic activity, hosting one of Hanyu’s performances is an unparalleled opportunity for regional revitalization.
